HBO is continuing its business relationship with J.K. Rowling, despite her controversial views on transgender issues. In a recent interview, HBO CEO Casey Bloys stated that Rowling’s personal beliefs have no impact on the content of the upcoming Harry Potter show, and that the company has been working with her for 25 years, including on the C.B. Strike series. Some people are calling for a boycott of the show, arguing that it cannot be separated from Rowling’s role as an executive producer and her financial support of anti-trans movements. Bloys suggests that those who wish to engage with Rowling should do so on Twitter.
According to Bloys, none of the HBO stars have ever communicated to him about the company’s partnership with Rowling. Recently, Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us series called out Rowling for her controversial comments towards transgender people, joining a growing list of celebrities expressing criticism. However, John Lithgow, who is set to play Albus Dumbledore in the final phase of his career, appears unfazed by the controversy. Lithgow shared with The Times that he was taken aback by the backlash he faced when he accepted the role. He questioned, “Why is this a concern at all? I’m curious about how J.K. Rowling has dealt with it.” Given her active social media presence, it seems more efficient to directly address her via Twitter instead.
